ps. at like 24:30 or thereabouts, that's such an excellent thought, like what if IWD had been the game to showcase all the new engine stuff that dropped in BG2 a few months later? I just imagine how much more interested I'd probably have been in playing as Sorcerer or Barbarian or any of those...

Ah the joys of painting! Loved the video! Well, everything except for having to look at Manley's face again, but that's only for 'never meet your heroes' type reasons. I think it's safe to say something like 'disgraced concept artist' at this point, or maybe lead headhunter and CEO of massive...

Watching now :) I'm instantly all transfixed by the Partha Balrog! Such a standout silhouette, even at the tactical high angle. The dude with the serrated sword and the whip! That guy was totally my fav! Alas the sword on mine snapped off and he was lost at some point, probably right around...

So this guy has to be the most powerful summon in the game right? Just for being able to cast the 6th level spell Wall of Thorns. It's one of those awkward higher level Wall spells that just doesn't seem to be super useful when compared with Wall of Fire or an upcasted Wall of Fire. I mean Wall...

The Ballad of Harvard Willoughby! So after getting the recklessness and a few honorable deaths out of my system, I returned to the bards. We left off just after the Busker. I felt like this would be tough to top and that we'd probably need all the help we could get to bring sound vs Gortash...

With each new honorable death, a new Nautiloid meta! hehe This time the Chest Stall... So here the plan was to use one of the cartilaginous treasure chests as a barricade to delay the Cambions. Idea is that the one Cambion gets angry and stops to stab the chest, so they're both grouped...

She aimed just a bit too high... Trying to get a Githyanki greatsword early was probably ill advised. We failed deception vs Voss and then got just nailed. I summoned the Ogres and drank an invisibility potion, but the Ogres got killed and then Sarth Baretha spotted us. About as quickly as...

Good plan! lol Took a smokepowder grenade straight to the grill. Not quite sure how I managed it, but somehow we intimidated the Windmill Gobs into pretending to leave but then instantly restarting the combat again. Got nailed pretty hard by surprise. Astarion's bite night was super ill timed...

A couple screens, showing the bows I mean... You can see comparing those Longbows that Lae'zel and Astarion are sporting vs the Shortbows that Shadowheart and Brigandine have equipped. Astarion's is doing the shoulder/head clip here, which I think would be harder to see if the drawstring...

I actually ended up giving the Electro bow to Astarion as well. I don't like the glow effect they put on all these Magical bows, and how they all seem to clip into my shoulder. It's just another instance of like 'why highlight and call attention to the things that look janky like that?' I...

Arcane Archer has actually been pretty entertaining thus far! I went with Exploding Arrow which does a pretty wide AoE radius similar to fireball, Piercing Arrow which also does an AoE but in a line like lightning, then seeking arrow in case the target is hiding around a corner. Not sure if...

One of the things that's particularly frustrating about BG3 not receiving a sequel or expansion, is that I think they missed a real chance to do more party vs party antics. I don't mean like a pvp for a Multiplayer mode, although that would have been a cool option, but more like when the Party...

So it's not particular to BG3 or Honour Mode, so much as it is D&D 5th edition, but I find the whole choice between ASI (+1/+2 to ability scores) or an extra feat vs Multi-Class to be pretty underwhelming. In my view there just aren't enough levels in D&D to justify making us wait 4 lvls for...

I figured out how to hit 24 in CHA using the pointy Birthright cap! I had been reluctant to respec my main again, because it's such a chore to re-pick all the Bard spells, but I think this is optimal itemization for the Bard with a Wizard dip. Just so that we're not over reliant on the Circlet...

Got him! Shadowheart used the Glyph of Warding Sleep to put Raphael to bed, then we destroyed all the Pillars before he could transform. Hope banished banished the haters and we were on. I dropped the globe and Raphael woke up, so we immediately tried for the Majestic Command Halt. This...

Ok we were able to get the band back together for the Bard run. All told it cost us basically everything we'd earned from taking the main stage at the Foundry. All the armor and random maces, then we started dipping into the collectables and some equipment that might have had sentimental value...

Few minutes in gimp and now it exists, or in meme form at least lol Gotta toss em out there sometimes ya know, see if anything gets retrieved :) Shadowheart is a pretty solid Clerical trope, she' got the whole Janus faced thing going on so that works. I think the challenge would be to figure...

To me BG3 is pretty arcade gamey, like somehow it reminds me of the Street Fighter 2 or MK era in the arcade. So I prefer to just imagine that this game will somehow still get an afterlife, re-run revamp, to take me for even more coins! Crank the animation speed like 133% and then give us all...

So far so good! I managed to clear 6 grand in about as many nights for the Rogue run, which felt like an alright start. Larceny died 3 times on the Nautiloid trying to set various grease traps before concluding that it was a bit of a bust. I think the most impressive start for a lockbuster was...

So basically what happened, I was trying to use Arcane Battery from the Dragon staff to free cast the summoning spell Greater Elemental, but instead I clicked the Kereska's favor Lightning attack by accident and triggered it against the wall. This agro'd Mizora from AoE and threw Elminster, Gale...
